The Death and Life of the Great Lakes by Dan Egan

You’re going to be shocked when you find out what’s happening beneath the surface of our Great Lakes (hint: it’s not good), and by the time you finish this book you’ll want to join the scientists currently racing to engineer a solution to save the most important bodies of freshwater on the planet. All manner of invasive species have wreaked havoc on the lakes’ ecosystems for decades; two centuries of poorly regulated American industry are responsible for a staggering amount of pollution; and don’t even get me started on the toxic algae.
